About the Organization

Created in 2008 and privately held, Harmac Pacific Pulp operates a Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft pulp mill on the East coast of Vancouver Island near Nanaimo, BC.

Nanaimo Forest Products (NFP) Ltd., the owner of the Harmac Pacific trademark, restarted the mill with a single production line on October 3, 2008.

Since that time the mill has grown to five production lines and a capacity of 400,000 tonnes of world‑class pulp per year.

Key to Harmac’s success is the employee ownership model. Our employees are very active participants in the running of the business and have 2 members that they elect to the company’s 6 seats on its Board of Directors. The future of Harmac Pacific Pulp is looking bright.

Through extensive capital investments, the organization has made significant improvements in productivity and reliability.

In addition, as of 2013, the installation has been completed of a 25 MW Green Energy turbogenerator which we currently use to sell power to BC Hydro.
